Bugatti Bolide Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“But the thing that has got the aficionados excited is that despite this being the very latest Technic set, it’s got something of a retro vibe about it. Vehicles have been a mainstay of the Technic theme for many years now, with cars making several appearances with each new... More wave of sets. And they’ve definitely evolved in the 45 years that Technic has been around.”

“The January 2023 tranche of Technic sets appears to be fairly disappointing for the discerning Technic fan, although the largest of the offerings, 42151 Bugatti Bolide, looks to have some redeeming qualities, not least because it includes a number of new elements, which is... More always cause for celebration. The Bolide is a distinctive-looking vehicle whose shape looks like it will lend itself to being modelled using angular Technic panels, so read on to find out if that's the case.”

“LEGO proved, once again, that it can do better, and can design a small set that ticks all the boxes. A beautiful and truly Technic Bugatti Bolide for the price of a dinner out. Can’t beat that. or such a small set, even the interior has a nice amount of detail, and a printed... More Bugatti logo on the steering wheel, the very same piece that is used in the 1:8 scale Bugatti Chiron.”
